Palm Beach State College is launching a major initiative to

impact the projected shortage of local, skilled professionals in STEM

(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields. The goal of the

initiative is to prepare students for the high-paying, high-demand

positions immediately available in these industries. The arts, which

so dramatically contribute to technology’s design through creativity

and ingenuity, are incorporated, resulting in the name STEAM.

A New Wave of Talent for High-Tech, High-Demand CareersThe U.S. Department of Labor estimates STEM fields will add 2.5 million jobs by 2025.

• There will be a shortage of 1.2 million trained and ready to fill these jobs.

• 80% of all jobs in the next decade will require technology skills.

• Florida estimates the need for 120,000 STEM workers within five years.

• Young people who participate in comprehensive and rigorous arts programs are four times more likely to be recognized for academicachievement.
